Most of the stuff you mentioned paladins can get by subbing the right job, so your argument is pretty weak. The only job in the game that gets cure 5 and 6 is white mage, so i guess by your standards all jobs suck at healing except for white mage...Quote:

YOu also put way too much empahasis on this cure potency stat, thinking it trumps everything else for healing, even the healing skill itself apparantly. It helps sure, but it's not nearly as needed as you seem to think, and absense of it certainly won't make you a sucky healer as you claim.
Paladins may not be the "best" healer, but they are adequate and will be able to heal the vast majority of situations on this game. I'd rank them right behind the mages, which is about where they should be. -

Dale I don't think you know what a healer job does...
When you say Cure Potency isn't that important you obviously have no clue how the healer role works, WHMs strive to hit the 50% cap for a reason ~_~ -

It is btw true that cure potency trumps healing skill. cure potency > mnd > vit > healing skill is the order of importance for stats when it comes to cures. -
07-02-2011, 07:12 AMDaleI play healer all the time Zagen, i assure you I know what it does, and i stand by my point. You are exagerating the need to have a high cure potency stat, and the mere absense of a 10% to 35% gap is not going to make you suck at healing like you claim.Quote:

07-02-2011, 07:22 AMAlienmonkeyYes a war/whm with light staff will have better cures than a pld/whm without it. Healing skill does barely anything.Quote:
